Ifpo, Jabal Amman, 3, Ibrahim az-Zahri St.

With the Palestinian flag now waiving over the UN buildings in New York and Geneva, the question of just what constitutes a Palestinian national community seems ever more prescient. Though Palestinian officials are now fighting to take part in an internationalist system with membership defined through belonging to a nation-state, realities of Palestinian community are far from those that describe the nation as it emerged from Europe's Westphalian model.

This project takes a step back from politics, and dives into the limits, confines, and possibilities of the imagination. It takes as its starting point Benedict Anderson's description of the novel as a genre that represents a "precise analogue" of the nation(-state), and looks to contemporary Palestinian works, asking: by what mechanisms is the nation being imagined? Without a single linear history, or bounded political space -said to be the backbone of the European nation and its novels- an alternative model for the nation emerges.

A reading of Ibrahim Nasrallah's (b. 1954, Wihdat, Amman) recent works reveals the nation not as a bounded and linear concept, but as a constellation of inter-linked spaces, times, and structures of power that at once challenge the singular authority of the nation-state system as a political construct, as well as as the basis for imagining a Palestinian national community.
